2.2 System description
Inputting physical quantities into an SPC or PLC or other computer and control systems requires
accurate and reliably working sensors. The sensor is a detecting element that detects level
(liquids/solids), identifies a liquid or a changed characteristics of a liquid and converts it into an
electrical on/off signal.

3.2 Installation requirements
• Use only the recommended sleeves or adapters. If other systems are used, no guarantee can
be given for proper functionality or leak-tightness.
• The connection thread must have direct electrical contact with the threaded sleeve and the
metal tank or pipe.
• Do not use Teflon or paper gaskets between switch and hygienic adapter. The PEEK sensor
together with the stainless steel adapter will perform a hygienic tightening. Assumed that the
requirements have been followed.
• The tightening torque for the sleeve should be 20...25 Nm (for sliding connection 25...30 Nm).
• If the tank or pipe is electrically non-conductive (e.g. plastic), the metal face of a screw-in
sleeve with a diameter of at least 28 mm / 1.1" will suffice as reference ground.
INSTALLATION 3
3.3 Process connection
The hygienic ½" process sleeve is easy to weld into tanks or pipes. The marking points to the
centre of the future position of the cable gland or M12 plug connector. This form of assembly
allows installation in conformity with standards of hygiene (to 3A, FDA).
Various hygienic adapter sleeves are available for fitting to other process connections. For more
information please refer to chapter "Order code".
The sensor can be installed in any desired position.

3.4 Mounting of 3A marked products
The 3A mark is valid only when the product is mounted in a 3A marked counterpart and installed
acc. to the installation manual. Use also a 3A marked O-ring or gasket if relevant.
The 3A marked products conforms to the 3A sanitary standards criteria. Materials and surfaces
fulfill the FDA demands.
EPDM O-rings supplied with 3A marked products are conform to sanitary standards class II (8%
milk fat).
1 Use only 3A approved counterparts.
2 The inspection hole should be visible and drained. Face it downwards that leaking can be
observed.
3 Mount the device in a self-drained position.
4 Level the inner surface of the pipe with the counterpart.
5 Weld from the inside of the tank, if possible. Welds shall be free from cracks, crevices and
grooves. Weldings should be grinded to R
=0.8µm.

3.5 Installation of sliding connection
The following drawing shows how the sliding connection can be used for at least 4 applications:
INSTALLATION 3

1 Mounted at the top of a tank to adjust to a certain level.
2 Serving as a cooling neck in high media temperature applications.
3 Adjusted to place the sensor tip deeper inside the tank (for lumpy or sticky media).
4 To reach in through insulation material.
CAUTION!
The OPTISWITCH 6500 C with sliding connection can be mounted with a static pressure up to
16 bar / 232 psi. To prevent personnel injuries, it is essential that the safety chain is mounted
correctly and undamaged.

CAUTION!
It is essential that the max. ambient temperature for the electronics is never exceeded.
The operating conditions for the sliding connection in different media temperatures and
specified ambient temperatures can be found in the following drawing.

Example, how to read the drawing:
A 250 mm / 9.9" sliding connection is mounted in a tank with a total insertion length of 150 mm /
5.9". Hence the external length of the sliding connection will be:
250 - 150 = 100 mm or 9.9 - 5.9 = 4".
The media temperature will be max. 160°C / 320°F.
Read the x-axis at 100 mm / 4" an the y-axis at 160°C / 320°F and find that the ambient
temperature must be kept below 40°C/ 104°F. In case the radiated heat from the tank will cause
a higher ambient temperature at the housing efficient insulation of the tank must be established.

4.1 Safety instructions
DANGER!
All work on the electrical connections may only be carried out with the power disconnected. Take
note of the voltage data on the nameplate!
DANGER!
Observe the national regulations for electrical installations!
DANGER!
For devices used in hazardous areas, additional safety notes apply; please refer to the Ex
documentation.
WARNING!
Observe without fail the local occupational health and safety regulations. Any work done on the
electrical components of the measuring device may only be carried out by properly trained
specialists.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
4.2 Description of electrical connection
Terminals 1 and 2 are used for supplying a DC voltage of 12...30 V (M12: terminal 1 and 3).
According to polarity, the output will switch to active or inactive when the sensor is immersed
(refer to connection diagram). The terminal wired to the negative pole is connected via an
internal protective diode to the housing.
The maximum power consumption is 70 mA (excluding load switched). This value should be
taken into account in connection with the recommended use of a fuse. An active switching output
(PNP) is available at terminal 5 (M12: terminal 4). The switching voltage is a minimum of 1 V
below the supply voltage. The maximum output current is 50 mA. At higher loads, the current is
limited accordingly. Damage through shorting cannot occur.
CAUTION!
When the top cover is removed, do not look directly at the LED with unshielded eyes or damage
to retina may occur!

Make sure that power is on before Teach-In.
•
For best Teach-In it is important that the actual process conditions are simulated.
•
During Teach-In mode the light intensity of the LED will decrease to protect your eyes.
If Teach-In for some reason do not succeed, the device will enter "Error State" and reload factory
settings automatically. This state is indicated by a blinking LED (3 short and 1 long blink). The
error can normally be fixed by powering off and on. Alternatively remake the "Teach-In"
procedure.
The factory settings can always be reloaded by connecting the terminal "Teach-In" to -VDC for

7 TECHNICAL DATA
7.1 Measuring principle
A high frequency signal sweep is radiated from the sensor tip into the tank / pipe. The medium
will act as a virtual capacitor, which together with a coil in the sensor head, will form a circuit
creating the switching point signal. This virtual capacity will depend of the dielectric value of the
medium and it is well defined for most media.
The measurement is precise and unaffected by the mounting position.
